Subfloors and Underlay - Wood and laminate (0)

Make your subfloors level using underlayments. There are sanitized options that kill bacteria and prevent growth of mould. A laminate underlay helps prevent moisture from concrete subfloors and crawl spaces reaching wood and fiberboard flooring. Underlays come in various sizes suitable for small, medium, or large renovation and construction projects. Special paper, poly, foam, and rubber underlays have insulation and sound absorption properties. You can find other flooring supplies, including wood and cork, to create beautiful floors. Several laminate flooring underlays meet air quality safety requirements.
Soundproof and insulate your home with subfloors and underlays — all available in a range of colours and styles to meet environment, health, and longevity concerns. Vapour barriers ensure moisture resistance in wet areas. Various laminate underlays protect against insects and fungus and require minimal maintenance for a clean look. Underlays serve several purposes and can smooth out minor irregularities in the floor. Non-toxic components make these insulating materials safe in households with children or pets, and they’re non-allergenic. With thermal insulation beneath your feet, winters become more enjoyable and there’s less chance for colds and flu.

Underlays in the collection are compatible for use with different subfloors, such as basement concrete. Install laminate flooring underlays without heavy machinery. For convenience, durable laminate doesn’t bend under substantial pressure and absorbs shock and sound to reduce noise levels. Look for recyclable subflooring designs to minimize waste.

Most experts agree that underlay products extend the life of carpets. Many items are available in rolls — making it easy to apply under-the-floor covering seamlessly. Aluminium tape offers water-resistance and sticks to various materials. Adding multiple layers of tape may make products suitable for outdoor applications or for dire weather conditions. Various felt underlays can cover an area of up to 100 square feet.

Subfloor installations under dense laminate makes interior foot traffic softer and more comfortable. Acoustic tiles are another option. They feature impact-resistant rubber and a simple design that makes them easy to install. Mould-resistant floor underpads are another healthy option that helps prevent potential repairs in advance. It’s easy to miss what happens beneath the surface of a floor covering — subfloors and laminate underlays of all types make it possible to control your environment better and increase the longevity of your floor products.
